All The Interesting Stuff From AOL's Earnings Call

We just got off AOL’s earnings call. Here’s the stuff we found noteworthy:

AOL passed Hulu in video views in Q4.

Tim Armstrong is talking about pageviews again, after swearing them off a year ago.

AOL is in the middle of a “winter luge” – just like it’s “summer sprint” last year.

There is karaoke every Thursday night!

A new Google search product comes to AOL in the next 60 days.

AOL has $750 mm in cash on hand, up from $150mm a year ago.

Tim says, “For people who are leaving, If you don’t want to work really hard, this isn’t the right company for you.”

Local news network Patch launched 559 sites in Q4.

AOL expects some Patches to be profitable in 2011.

In the meantime, Armstrong won’t reveal more specific Patch metrics “because I don’t want to. You’re going to have to trust me on this that we see positive metrics from a traffic and advertiser standpoint.
